If is a polynomial function of degree
then
has excatly
linear factors and
Where is some non zero real number
are the complex zeros of
.
The zeros are .
Using the linear factorization therom and the zeros we can write
as follows.
.
While can be any non zero real number, it is simplest to let
.
Then write the function in the standard form.
\.

.
Therefore, a function of least degree that has as zeros is
or any non multiple of
.
